Personal Style Monday – My Version of Casual Wear

Happy Monday! Todays Personal Style Monday is all about casual wear. If you ask people what they consider to be casual wear, the answers probably range from jeans and a t-shirt to sweats and hoodies. For me the perfect casual wear essentials are a pair of leggings, sunnies and a cute pair of flats. To put it simply, I try to be as functional and practical (and cute, lol) as I can be when dressing in casual wear.

So needless to say, I was in heaven while wearing this ensemble. My casual wear has become more fun and stylish in my “older” age. I used to be the jeans and t-shirt girl and I wore very minimal accessories and was usually wearing sneakers to top off the look. Now, I go for fun prints, flowy tops, unique jewelry and at cute shoes. I like to think I’ve stepped up my casual wear game. I think of it now as “grown up casual wear”.

In keeping with today’s casual wear theme, I decided to choose I am Simply Chic as my favorite look from last weeks Personal Style Linkup! The converse sneakers, fun print pants and scarf make for the perfect casual (and chic) look. I also love the sunnies and trench coat. Her causal wear look includes some of the same items I wore in my look; sunnies, trench coat and fun/printed bottoms!

So tell me, what are some of your casual wear essentials? Are you the jeans & tee girl or are you a fun/print leggings kinda gal? Let me know…and be sure to drop by & say hi to I am Simply Chic!

heels are just harder to walk it. I don’t know how other women do it that wear heels daily (like my sister in law) and she is in her 2nd trimester of pregnancy too. Ouch! Cute casual look on you by the way .Rachel Garay recently posted…Zebra Print Maxi Dress

I’m definitely a jeans & tee casual wear kind of girl, but I like to kick it up a little with scarves, blazers and jewelry. Love that rich teal color of your top! Thanks for linking up today. -GinaOn the Daily Express

I definitely think you can still be casual but not look lazy! The right amount of interest and accessories like you have done help the cause! My winter casual attire are boots, skinnies, easy top, scarf, moto jacket. Comfy, but still cute!
